Smitten

Though the patterns don't seem to be identical, the motif they use reminds me of the African Flower motif. (Here on Ravely, and here, in a slightly modified form.) I've bookmarked that pattern before, but these photos have brought it to the forefront of my crochet-obsessed mind. ;o) I love the colors they've used-- and the mixture of fuzzy yarn with plain is beautiful, too. Simply gorgeous work.

If I didn't already have a list of projects I want/need to make (some of them before Christmas, too), I'd be tempted to start a new afghan inspired by those in the photos. (Especially the one in the upper right-hand corner. It will surely haunt my dreams. (g))

Welcome!

I'm Michael (frequently found online as "MossyOwls"), and this is where I keep track of my crafty interests. I love to crochet, enjoy the occasional small knitting project, and am beginning to play around with (simple) machine quilting and watercolor painting. (No telling what could come next!)

Before I became obsessed with crocheting, I used to blog about another crafting passion-- polymer clay. (Might pick it up again, one of these days...)
